toml11 is a feature-rich, header-only TOML parsing and serialization library for C++11/14/17/20. It fully complies with the TOML v1.0.0 specification, provides clear error messages with locations, preserves comments and formatting information, and supports type conversions to STL containers.

Use cases

• parse TOML configuration files in C++
• serialize C++ data structures to TOML
• read config files with comments preserved
• convert TOML values into STL containers
• get clear error messages with line locations when parsing TOML
• support TOML 1.1 features in a C++ project

When to choose

• you need a spec-compliant TOML parser for modern C++
• you want a header-only library with no dependencies
• you need to preserve comments and formatting when round-tripping TOML files
• you want detailed, location-aware parse error messages

When to avoid

• your project uses a language other than C++
• you need a general-purpose configuration format like YAML or JSON instead of TOML
• you need runtime-driven dynamic schemas beyond TOML's type system
